Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, Charles is age 24, a clerk, living with his family in Warwick, RI. There was another Charles Remington living in RI in 1850 -- a clerk, age 21, living in a hotel in Ward 5, Providence. Who is he? Could he be the same individual counted twice?

According to an 1895 article in "Club and Professional Life of Rhode Island" about Henry Adolphus Remington (Jr.), his brother Charles was living in Providence at that time. No other details are given about Charles. It does confirm that their brother William died in Atlanta, GA.

Notes:

In the 1850 Federal Census, William is age 23, living in Warwick, RI, with his parents and siblings. He is a miner. William married in 1851, subsequently went south to Georgia, but presumably returned by the time his first wife Chloe died in 1856. After this he went back to Georgia, where he can be found in later censuses.

In a deed dated 13 Nov 1853 at Warwick, William A. Remington was said to be "of Marietta in the State of Georgia." Henry A. & Sally Ann Remington are also named in this deed.

William was widowed, probably twice. In the 1860 Federal Census, living at Marietta, Cobb Co., GA, in the household of G. T. Northup & family, are the following: W. A. Remington, 33 b. NJ, a carpenter; F. J. Remington, 24 b. NY (next to name it says William -- perhaps meaning his wife?); and Ella Remington, 1 b. GA. This is almost certainly William Aborn Remington of RI (see census data for 1870).

In the 1870 Federal Census, there is a William A. Remington, age 42, b. RI, living at Cartersville, Bartow, GA. This is the correct age for William Aborn Remington. Also in the home are Ellen L. Remington, 11; William H. Remington, 9; and George T. Remington, 5; these three children were all born in Georgia. He has no wife in the home, so it is reasonable to assume that his wife, mother of these children, has died. They are living next to or near to Simeon & Hester Smith and family.

In the 1880 Federal Census, William & Mary (assumed third wife) and their family are residing at 3rd Ward, District 13, Athens, Clarke Co., GA; W. A. Remington is 50, Mary E. is 36, Earnest W. is 7, and Lola G. is 5.

It is possible that William had another daughter named Marietta, because back in RI, the 1870 Federal Census lists a Marrietta Remington, age 14, b. GA (c1856), living in Providence with William's parents, Henry & Sally Remington. She could be the daughter of Chloe, because they must have gone to Georgia and then back to Massachusetts, where Chloe's death is in the Rehoboth, MA, vital records. This is one possible scenario. (see above note concerning deed dated 13 Nov 1853)

However, the RI Death Index lists a daughter of William & Chloe who would have been born c1856 -- Carrie C. Remington, who died 31 Mar 1876. The name Carrie does not sound at all like Marietta, so it is not certain that they are the same individual -- unless she was called by very different names at times.

From the web site newenglandancestors.org -- see "Rehoboth, MA, vital records": "1851 REMINGTON, William A., aged 23, of Providence, son of H. A. and Sally A., and Chloe Carpenter, aged 20, of Rehoboth, daughter of Asaph and Caroline, married by Rev. Charles P. Grosvenor June 8, 1851. Int. June 8, 1851. 8 6 Marriage." (This is very likely the first marriage for this particular William.)

"1856 REMINGTON - , of William and Chloe, 1 day, Nov. 11, 1856 8 14 Death"

"1856 REMINGTON Chloe, wife of William A., 26y 1m 9d, Dec. 24, 1856 8 15 Death"

See DAR Founders & Patriots Line # 4617.

William married Chloe Carpenter 8 Jun 1851, Rehoboth, MA. Chloe (daughter of Asaph Carpenter and Caroline Unknown) was born Nov 1830, Rehoboth, MA; died 24 Dec 1856, Rehoboth, MA. [Group Sheet]

William married F. J. Unknown Abt 1858. F. was born Abt 1836, NY; died Between 1867 and 1871. [Group Sheet]

William married Mary Eliza Matthias 22 Aug 1871, Cass Station, Cass Co., GA. Mary was born 23 Jun 1844, Henderson Co., NC; died 28 Aug 1895, Hot Springs, AR. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

In the 1880 Federal Census, Horatio & Martha are at Warwick, Kent Co., RI.

Notes from "History of Washington and Kent Counties," pp. 1296 & 1297: Horatio A. Remington was born in Cranston in 1830. His father Henry A. Remington was a son of Capt. Charles Remington who came from England and died in 1812 (this is inaccurate). Henry was a mechanic, but in 1842 he settled on a farm. Six years later the son, Horatio A., left home to learn the machinist's trade. After working at his trade for about 17 years, he in 1866 became junior partner with S. Colvin & Co., at River Point, in the manufacture of looms. His wife was Martha A. Knight. He has two sons: Charles Banks, now an Academy student, and Edgar Wilson, MD, of Providence.

Horatio married Martha A. Unknown Abt 1855. Martha was born 30 Jan 1831, RI; died 30 Jan 1912, Providence, RI; was buried , Woodland Cemetery, Washington St. & Knotty Oak Rd., Coventry, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The family Bible has his birth year as 1833 (a copy of this record is in the Mary E. Rice Collection). Virginia Adair has the year as 1832.

Notes:

I am making an assumption that this marriage to Mary is for this particular Henry A. Remington, Jr., and that this family group found in the 1870 Federal Census at Providence is for him. His age in the census (35) fits his date of birth. In the Rhode Island Census of 1875, Henry H. Remington is 40, Mary is 39, Anna F. is 14, Charles H. is 9, and Mary H. is 7. The same couple appears to be in the 1900 Federal Census at Providence, and the dates agree, except Henry's dob is given as 7 Aug 1833. Their daughter Mary is a school teacher, age 33.

In the Federal Census of 1910, Henry & Mary Remington, ages 75 & 70, are living on Potter Avenue, Providence, RI. They have been married 52 years. Henry's occupation is given as Builder & Undertaker.

A city directory says his residence and office were at 55 Ocean St., Providence, RI.

The Henry Remington family Bible has his birth year as 1835 (a copy of this record is in the Mary E. Rice Collection). It says he died at 120 Potter Ave., Providence. Virginia Adair has his birth year as 1834.

Henry married Mary Cassidy 14 Feb 1858, Providence, RI. Mary was born 6 Apr 1836, Ireland; died 12 Jan 1926; was buried , Riverside Cemetery, Pawtucket, RI. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

The family Bible has her birth year as 1838 (a copy of this record is in the Mary E. Rice Collection). Virginia Adair has the birth year as 1837.

Notes:

She may be boarding on Knight St., Providence (Ward 9, District 245), in 1910. Her age is given as 68.

The family Bible has her birth year as 1841 (a copy of this record is in the Mary E. Rice Collection). It says she died at Carr St., Providence. Virginia Adair has her birth year as 1840.
